Feet First

The Miami Children’s Hospital likes its philanthropy with a side of footwear—designer at that! The hospital takes its annual Wine, Women & Shoes gala very seriously, so this year, in addition to the actual event, it also held a luncheon at Roger Vivier in Bal Harbour Shops to bring awareness to its main cause, the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation. Criselda Breene, Daniela Swaebe, Padma Vattikuti and dozens of other ladies-who-lunch types spent an afternoon perusing RV’s latest designs and discussing the party. A couple of weeks later, these same women—plus hundreds of others—headed south to the Coral Gables Country Club for the actual gala, which raised nearly half a million dollars for the foundation. –‌Photography by Yamila Lomba/World Red Eye and Nathan Valentine/World Red Eye
